BENEATH A MOONLESS SKY (Christine) I should have known that you'd be here, I should have known it all along.

This whole arrangement bears your stamp, you're in each measure of that song. How dare you try and claim me now, how dare you come invade my life.

(Phantom) Oh Christine, my Christine in that time that the world thought me dead. My Christine, on that night just before you were wed. Oh Christine, you came and found where I hid, don't you deny that you did theat long ago night.

(Christine) That night.

(Phantom) Once there was a night beneath a moonless sky, too dark to see a thing too dark to even try.

(Christine) I stole to your side, to tell you I must go. I couldn't see your face, but sensed you even so.

(Christine) And I touched you. (Phantom) And I felt you. (Christine and Phantom) And I heard those ravishing refrains. (Christine) The music of your pulse. (Phantom) The singing in your veins. (Christine) And I held you. (Phantom) And I touched you. (Christine) And embraced you. (Phantom) And I felt you. (Christine and Phantom) And with every breath and every sigh. (Christine) I felt no longer scared. (Phantom) I felt no longer shy. (Christine and Phantom) At last our feelings bared beneath a moonless sky.

(Christine)

And blind in the dark, as soul gazed into soul; I looked into your heart and saw you pure and whole.

(Phantom) Cloaked under the night with nothing to suppress, a woman and a man no more and yet no less.

(Phantom) And I kissed you. (Christine) And caressed you. (Christine and Phantom) And the world around us fell away, we said things in the dark, we never dared to say. (Phantom) And I caught you. (Christine) And I kissed you. (Phantom) And I took you. (Christine) And caressed you. (Christine and Phantom) With a need to urgent to deny.

And nothing mattered then except for you and I. Again and then again, beneath a moonless sky.

(Phantom) And when it was done, before the sun could rise ashamed of what I was afraid to see your eyes. I stood while you slept and whispered a goodbye. And slipped into the dark beneath a moonless sky.

(Christine) And I loved you, yes I loved you. I'd have followed any where you led. I woke to swear my love, and found you gone instead.

(Phantom) And I loved you. (Christine) And I loved you. (Phantom) And I left you. (Christine)

Yes I loved you. (Phantom) And I had to both of us knew why. (Christine) We both knew why. (Christine and Phantom) And yet I won't regret from now until I die. The night I can't forget, beneath a moonless sky.

(Phantom) And now? (Christine) How could you talk of now for us? There is no now.

TIL I HEAR YOU SING Ten long years Living a mere facade of life Ten long years Wasting my time on smoke and noise

In my mind I hear melodies pure and unearthly But I find I can't give them a voice without you

My Christine, my Christine Lost and gone, lost and gone

The day starts The day ends Time crawls by

Night steals in pacing the floor The moments creep Yet I can't bear to sleep 'Til I hear you sing

And weeks pass And months pass Seasons fly

Still you don't walk through the door And in a haze I count the silent days 'Til I hear you sing once more

And sometimes at night time I dream that you are there But wake holding nothing But the empty air

And years come And years go Time runs dry

Still I ache down to the core My broken soul Can't be alive and whole 'Til I hear you sing once more

And music, your music It teases at my ear I turn and it fades away And you're not here

Let hopes pass Let dreams pass Let them die Without you, what are they for?

I'll always feel No more than halfway real 'Til I hear you sing once more

ONCE UPON ANOTHER TIME

(Christine) Once upon another time Our story had only begun You chose to turn the page And I made choices too Once upon that other time We did what we thought Must be done And now we have no choice We do what we must do We love

We live We give what we can give And take what little we deserve (Phantom) Once upon another time I knew how our story would end And maybe I was wrong But now the moment is gone Were it still that other time I'd make time itself Somehow bend But now I'm not that strong And time keeps moving on (Christine and Phantom) We love We live We give what we can give And take what little we deserve We love We live We give what we can give And take what little we deserve Once upon another time
